Malaysia has all the advantages and competitive edge (KL + Penang especially). Malaysia must welcome their local talent back and even highly skilled foreign talent.
Malaysia can produce whatever electronic products it wants, but if, Malaysia really wants to win must deliver innovative and competitively advantageous products, both in the supply chain and finished products.
The biggest issue that lead to "brain drain" is really the low wage. Malaysia did not have shortage of engineers. We have shortage of high paying job. We being told "just take the offer" or being labeled as "ungrateful" and "demanding". Which leads to employers throwing pay close to national minimum wage. To put into perspective, the minimum wage is MYR1,500 or USD320 per month. That's less than USD4,000 annually. Fresh graduates on engineering are not expected to get paid more than triple of that. Which is why Malaysian engineers left the country. They being paid so low while expected to pay back their student loan. The only fresh graduates engineers left are those who don't have enough connection to reach employers outside of the country to offer their skills.
Why do u talk about 20 years ago. Now, fresh graduate salary is about RM2400 - Ram2800. Senior engineer can achieve RM4500 - RM8000. The expert can achieve RM10 000 - RM20 000 in Malaysia.

Malaysia is currently a balanced country, not too advanced nor too underdeveloped. Most Malaysians think that our politic is unstable but if they actually look at other countries they will find out how messed up their politics actually are compared to Malaysia.
Don't compare to countries that don't have manufacturing chip capabilities...Try comparing Thailand and Vietnam...They have the work force and a stable country. Malaysia work force are imported and cost money.

But stupid opposition is growing. They will bring down Malaysia at whatever expenses. Just like Zionists, their ammunitions are slanders & lies. All states they managed are in shambles and backward, but they still dream to lead the country.
I am Indonesian but I am jealous that our Malaysian brothers and sisters were ready to starting this very strategic chip businesses. Here in Indonesia, government still debating about the importance of internet speed, basically we are 100 years behind Malaysia in this field.

I am Taiwanese who work in the semiconductor industry, this topic is actually a complicated issue. It's about the cutting edge technic all around the world.Not just Taiwan, but also Japan, SK, NL, China and US etc, each of them plays an important role as Taiwan is the biggest one. Maybe this video can explain some of Malaysia's problems, but there is a lack of knowledge about the entire industry chain of chips. For example: Manufacturing(we called Foundry professionally) can be subdivided into plenty of parts, the chips for vehicals and the chips for iphone are totally different. Not to mention Design,Package ,System,Material,Aligner ... ,every part of it requires well educated people.
Agreed, seems like they just expecting foreign tech company just invest billions dollar project with no specific reason. And they can miraculous getting a share from it. They complete neglect supply chain problem, the raw material, electricity, equipment, educated work force (engineer and IT technician), component supplier(High end industry required massive low and mid level supplier, and it is mandatory) Also both japan, SK, China, Taiwan become a tech powerhouse by invest and incubate their own tech company rather than hope some foreign company gona doing it for them. Majority of the production still from their home country. This process takes least a decade and billions dollar of investment, its painful but worth it. For any industry that is heavy-asset, don't focus too much on labor cost, because it matters little. Provide cheap land, low interest loan or even some tax cut have way bigger impact on it. Raw material price, production cost, product cycle, electricity stability are way much more important. No factory, especially high-tech industry can afford power outage in the middle of the production.
Well as a Malaysian, I can say Intel, Texas and Western Digital has factories here back in 70s -2000s. To be fair this channel is primarly focus on geopolitics and not semiconductor industry.
As a Malaysian, I cannot thank Caspian Report and Shirvan enough for making a video about my country. Had always wanted to know more about my country's semiconductor industry, but couldn't find a good video. Thank you once again! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

As a South African, I think Malaysia is a beautiful nation that deserves this success. With Malaysia joining BRICS, both of our nations can reach their full potential without the West mocking us. 🇿🇦 ❤ 🇲🇾
@acerazak4087 I think it will. I am a South African with Cape Malay ancestry. I believe BRICS is the perfect fit for our two emerging economies, especially in terms of our historic ties. The West is in moral, economic and democratic decline, its time that Malaysia and SA start to rely on each other and not the western bullies that tell us who we can and can't be friends with or who is allowed to commit genocide and who is not.
@@delaneycloete5920 wow a south African with Cape Malay ancestry, I am a Malay btw. I am 💯 agreed with you. I am also proud that both our country stands up to these evil bully n working together to achieve common goal.
The West does not mock Malaysia and mostly dismisses SA as a dysfunctional state careening to failed state status. We once had hope for SA but endemic corruption, among other problems, have decimated growth. SA can't even keep the lights on 24/7 and has collapsing infrastructure and the government is doing nothing about. Foreign capital investment are leaving and will continue, as will SA's brain drain. Until SA changes its culture and government, until it reforms and rejects widespread corruption and tribal nepotism and cronyism it will never be worth investing in. Malaysia is comparatively well-educated and its geography places it at the center of global trade, something SA doesn't have. SA stands to temporarily benefit from instability in the Red Sea (Houthis, etc.) which forces most ships to go around Africa instead of Suez. AS for BRICS, it is perhaps worthy of mockery as it is more of a PR stunt than an actual cohesive entity. None of its members share common ideologies or interests and are in fact enemies (India-China) or frenemies (Russia-China), their only unifying theme is simmering resentment to real and perceived sleights from the West (which they exploit in post-colonial Africa to great effect). Brazil talks big on anti-Imperialism (mostly directed at the US--not entirely wrong) but somehow ignores Russia and China's imperialism and expansionism. None have solid and transparent banking systems and low levels of corruption and proper rule of law making everything from investments, to free trade deals, currency swaps or the ludicrous idea of shared currency difficult or impossible. India doesn't want Rubles, and Brazil has no use for Rupees, but all need USD to buy commodities on international markets. Which brings me to de-Dollarization. It's not happening anytime soon despite the rhetoric. The USD will remain the reserve currency for a long time, especially in an age of increasing instability and where Russia and China are in irreversible demographic decline and Brazil's total fertility rate is rapidly decreasing. None of the BRICS countries can rely on immigration to compensate for low birth rates because none of them are attractive to immigrants for obvious reasons. BRICS is a pipe-dream, a joke. More logical and cohesive economic and political blocs could be formed in Africa and South America.
@electrosyzygy Thank you for this comprehensive and concise reply. I'm not going to reply point by point, but I will point a few things out. Your reply serves as proof of my statement regarding being mocked by the West, although I should perhaps have put mocked in inverted commas. South Africa has just gone though a national election which saw a 30 year old government go into coalition with its main rival. There are positive things to come for the country, with even the financial markets in agreement. South Africa has a parliament of proportional representation, unlike the British democracy in which the Reform Party received 15% of the vote but only 3 seats in Parliament. SA further maintains 3 independent arms of state, unlike the US supreme court giving the president the American crown, and can also change a 30 year old government without the need for insurrection by the losing party. The French and Germans are dealing with a right wing surge, with the French almost incapable of forming a government. SA has many problems, we acknowledge this, but we thank our lucky stars that we now have a competent government which we haven't had for the last 20 years at least. We are also grateful to have enough muscle to be able to toe the line between the G20 and BRICS and not get upset when the Americans badmouth us because we don't toe their party line. We have lost all moral respect for anyone who can support a genocide. BRICS is thankfully not ideological, but it is the best way for SA and Malaysia to look after their own citizens. South Africans, ordinary and wealthy alike, are seeing the benefit of this on a daily basis, especially seeing as our masses can afford EVs from China without 100% tariff markups on them. The West has all but abandoned us, given up on us, but through our own sheer will, as well as help from others, we are on the rise for our own people.

Malaysia is actually industrialised, not the facade of modernity that other "developed" Muslim countries have because theirs is built on the back of foreign workers and oil.
@@lamchunting856 The gulf states *look* more developed, but once their oil money runs out and the foreign workers leave, they have no industry left. Their tourism is artificial, based on the apparent "developed" veneer of their countries, so no one will want to go there in the future. Malaysia on the other hand, has beautiful geography which is why it has a natural tourism industry to compliment the manufacturing industries

Malaysia should encourage the establishment of home grown companies such as offering grants for local talents and universities to establish unique AI chip manufacturing.
Omg I love your insight and analysis! You are very right, Malaysia’s biggest mistake was to leave R&D! Our leaders and cultures are never into research and innovation, otherwise we would be already like South Korea. Sad. Good job!

True, but this is mostly due to our best and brightest leaving for better opportunities and so causing the brain drain and lack of innovation, and that can mostly be blamed on the NEP(bumiputra policy) where skilled Malaysian-Chinese and Indians that make up 40% of the population don't see a future in Malaysia; Why work for a fifth of the pay while the country treats you as a 2nd-class citizen?
Some of the smartest Malaysians I know who studied in Mechatronis, Aviation Engineering, and Actuarial Science eventually moved to Singapore and the US. Malaysian salaries didn't justified for them staying back, they're earning 10-20 times the salaries offered in Malaysia. Brain drain is a real issue.

It's good thing that microchip companies prefer to invest in Malaysia over the Philippines because in the Philippines, they aren't allowed to buy and own lands to put up their microchip manufacturing plants and as corporations, they aren't allowed to invest more than 40% equity and the rest of the 60% equity must be invested by Filipino corporation partners.

I worked in a company that does a Malaysia government project back 10 years ago. The government wanted to setup a free trade zone for foregin tech investors to come and setup companies with benefit of tax free.

At the time I had weirdest fairwell as nearly everyone in our company was sacked. Well I hope they can do better this time. I wish them luck.
we are a small country with a limited army. In order to remain safe, Tun Mahathir placed foreign economic interests here. which is certain that the country protects Malaysia for their own interests as well.
@@arx117 Fun Fact, Mahathir signed a defense pact with the US in 1982. This allows Malaysia to save money on defence while spend the rest on foreign business. That's why we are close partners to US military.
As a Singaporean, looking at the history of both of countries, Malaysia needs to stabilize their government and racial and religious politics to see progress. Your video makes it very positive for Malaysia, but the reality is not close to it. Malaysian government has continually disappoint Singapore as well as their own Malaysians. I wish the best for them, and i think Anwar on is headed in the right direction. Hopefully he can command the stability needed in Malaysian politics and given the sufficient opportunity to drive the growth. Remember, Malaysia has so much resources. Singapore has nothing. Everything is expensive in Singapore. Malaysia has energy independence, there should be no reason for Malaysia to not outpace Singapore, just like how China has overtook Hong Kong in progress.
As a malay in Malaysia, I heavily support this. Politicians keep using religion to win votes and most Malays keep falling for that dumb trick. In the end, corruption and incompetent leadership is what we get. Not only that as it's difficult to establish a stable and harmonious environment with the constant racism in Malaysia (illegal immigrants is another story though). Plus most Malays and bumiputeras relied heavily on their privileges just to get a decent job. I'm not saying Malaysia should be secular and liberal though Extra: For Malays, I think most of us should change our thinking when picking a career. A lot of us still look for the easy way out. For example, many SPM graduates only have bare minimum scores to get into politeknik. Why do they do this? "Lepas SPM aku kerja grab je lah", "So aku taknak study" (Translation: After SPM I wanna work as a delivery driver, so i don't need to study) We have just as much potential to become doctors as other people do yet our country has a shortage of doctors. We had to take in foreign workers for this.
Henryhoe Singapore was not exactly a backward island when Malaysia kicked Singapore out in 1965. It has been a thriving island for more than 1 century. In 1965 ,Singapore GDP' s percapitq is already the highest in South East Asia after Brunei. And Singapore is unique as it did not suffer brutality under Malaysian rule. If you care to be observant, you can appreciate that Singapore was lucky as it did not to wage war to get sovereignty. Look at Timur Leste, South Philippines or South Thailand or Acheh ,Papua and you would realise how benevolent then PM If Malaysia back then. I am not denying the
@@shamshulanuar7718 Seriously Singapore NEVER wanted to be independent in the first place they were EXPELED, voted out by the parliment. Wage war to get sovereignty?? WTF? There was no brutality involved since Singapore was having a similar status like Sabah and Sarawak; The Federation of Malaysia was formed when Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak signed the formation. Note that Brunei declined the invitation to join the Federation, for what its worth till date it was a good decision on their part. Malaysia (more like Malaya political parties at that time) main concern of Singapore at that time was their differences in political view and how to spearhead the Malaysian Federation at that time. That differences in oppinion lead to UMNO lead parties (BN - BN at that time was huge and they single handedly dominate Malaysian Federation politics at that time this include Sabah and Sarawak but not in Singapore) to vote Singapore out of the Federation. Now all is history and we could see what came out of each leaders visions at that time.
This would be the second time for Malaysia to become a global chip giant again. In the 1990s, Malaysia was the largest chip producer in the world before most of the chip companies moved their production to China.
PAP & DAP are the problem since 1963 prior that led to the racial tension in Singapore 1964-1965 and in 1969 in Kuala Lumpur...ever since that DAP continue to stir racial harmony in Malaysia with its racist tactics in politics and twisted laws - people in Malaysia should ban DAP since 1967 - they are real culprits ever since.
Special mention for politicians. Most of us tolerate each other because we don't want our children to grow up in an unstable country. Of course there are issues, but it will disappear after 2-3 months. Politicians bring up issues only to stay relevant and for political mileage.

Malaysia's strategic location offers significant advantages that make it an attractive hub for various industries, including the semiconductor sector. In my opinion, Intel, Nvidia, and Infineon have played pivotal roles in advancing Malaysia's semiconductor industry, contributing to its potential emergence as a significant player in global chip production.
Despite the never ending predictions of her demise by a certain community, Malaysia is still steadily charting its future with balanced judgments. It will never be a Singapore, Taiwan or Hong Kong.
the Malay race is not as competitive as the East Asian, Chinese , korean or Japanese but strangely they have higher quality of life since they value other things , family, balanced development, religion ,peace of mind.

Malaysia quite misfortune in become high income country. In the 60s they fought against communist until 90s. then just when they about to recover, the 1998 financial crisis hit. then again in 2000s they about to recover, same thing happened 2008 financial crisis hit, then again in 2014. After that they gain good momentum in recovering 2017 saw the economy booming and then like usual political instability and corona virus hit them push them back down.
All these shocks also affected other countries, not just Malaysia. The real problem in Malaysia is a lack of educated labour and brain drain. The racial policies of successive UMNO governments have entrenched a system in which ethnic Malays feel entitled to subsidized housing, school and university places irrespective of merit and guaranteed jobs - all purely based on their race. While other non-Malay (but still Malaysian citizens) groups compete on merit they see no hope in a country stuck in the middle income trap where jobs are handed out based not on merit and performance but on racial quotas. This is at the heart of the problem, and unless the Anwar administration gets real and tackles this effective apartheid Malaysia's 2030 dream will turn out to be another false dawn like 'Vision 2020', which was preceded by Najib looting billions in taxpayer funds for corrupt use and personal enrichment. Anwar needs to reverse the brain drain. To do that it needs to rectify the failed race based policies. I was speaking to a business owner from Europe a few years ago, who was looking to expand in SE Asia. I recommended Malaysia, but when he learned about the Malay job quota rules, he lost interest - corporations don't like to operate in nations where hiring is dictated by political agendas. Failed political agendas. Read Dr M's 'The Malay Dilemma' for more info.
These are all excuses. Every major economy went through that. Saw how Singapore and Korea recovered and prospered, but Malaysia? Lazy culture, takpe mindset, rasuah, racism, are all the cause of our own misfortune.

Wrong. China has all the talent and dominance in emerging photonic semiconductors on graphene, which are 30,000 times faster and use 1-million times less energy, which will spell the end of silicon chips, like how mobile phones killed landline phones.

@@rioluna6058 Why is everything about you people about the CCP and your giant geopolitical contest? Malaysia wants no part of that, and isn't going to pick sides if it comes to that. They're quite resolute in their neutrality.
If you like the west : Malaysia was a European colony for over 4 centuries. If you like China and Chinese : Malaysia population is 20% Chinese. If you are a Muslim : Malaysia is a Muslim majority country. Malaysia basically appeals everyone.
What was that comment about Malaysia's Jatronics being in violation of the sanctions? Malaysia does not apply sanctions upon Russia. Malaysia does not recognise illegal sanctions upon Russia. Malaysia only recognises sanctions legally imposed by the United Nations.
True but Russia DOES DESERVE TO BE SANCTIONED! PERIOD! If you are repulsed by what Israel is doing to Palestine, you shd be just as repulsed by what Russia is doing to Ukraine. You do not practise selective compassion!
Things would not change if the conservative Malays themselves doesn't change their mindset. All those protest against foreign investments because the company model doesn't align with their religious beliefs, and the malays that forcefully wanting the Malay language to be prioritized by neglecting English, these would be the downfall of Malaysia and no one else to blame but themselves.
But that doesn't mean we could eventually leaving Malay language for good. Getting juggling on having polyglot mentality are especially should be upheld on the same par as having our mother tongue too.
Not to mention the inequility in treating the other ethnic minorities, that law should've been long gone, we all work the same hours, we should expect the same reward. Plus the amount of corruption going on with influx of foreign workers really destroy the landscape for the locals, the under cutting of pays and low wages are all a result of this

the improvement of KL was necessary. it's true that state/provincial development should also have kept pace, but the rise of KL was never against Penang per se.
Penangite here working for one of the companies you mentioned. I don't think Malaysia is gonna be winning this fight. 1. Talent/compensation: I've been working in China for close to two decades in the semicon industry and was recently offered to take charge of the Malaysian plant. As a Malaysian, I would lose my expat status and will be entitled to much less salary as well as other benefits (e.g. rent/transport/education for children). I would rather move to Vietnam instead. 2. Infrastructure/construction: We've hit so many dumb issues while building the new plant that the C-suite has considered winding down the project despite American pressure. I won't go into specifics here as that would reveal my employer. It's very much a Malaysian problem and would never have happened in China. 3. Corruption: (can't provide details) Also, Intel and other manufacturers are actually still secretly building new plants in China in collaboration with Chinese companies. I'm pretty sure they're violating sanctions but they've kept it pretty well hidden thus far.
1. Ask those rich millionaires to invest and give money instead of government taxes 2. Higher smarter people 3. Be more queries like the South Americans
Probably no body talk about the effect of fast growing economy bring catastrophic effect to the ppl and culture...while malaysia has done well in maintaining the status quo between them.
When we talk about potential, Malaysia has alot of potentials thats off the charts! From ports, natural resources, oils & gas, agricultures, tourisms, industrials, strategic geolocations that rarely natural disasters occur & etc. You name it! But sadly, the weak, corrupted & unfit politicians along with unfunctioning kings & rulers that just wasting all the money & hindering their own potentials. This what holding Malaysians back & not fully lived up to their potentials. Sad truth…
Reling heavily on investment from foreign companies is not so good in the long run. You need some equivalent of Samsung, Hynix, TSMC or MediaTek to domesticate global semiconductor industry to itself. Foreign companies will leave Malaysia once its wage and land price become expensive for middle-income economy.
you think your phone can only run only with microchips? majority of non semiconductor firms that supplies non semiconductors to those firms like pcbs, wires, memories, transistor are made by malaysian firm.. we also has our own fabrication local semiconductor firms like silterra mention in the video...
@@zarith87 my man, that is not what he is saying at all. He's saying Malaysia needs to find a way domesticate the entire production chain and take a piece of the tech production pie because guess what happens to our local upstream component manufacturers once their clients run to the next cheap place? Our historical hint of what could be the result is the Japanese economic stagnation and industrial implosion of the 90s Malaysia's saving grace however will always be that the Malaysian economy is quite diversified and not reliant on one industry doing well. But the pain will be felt and stagnation will happen. Just look at the damage to china done from manufacturers moving to vietnam, thailand and indonesia because the chinese wage is now too expensive. Their government isn't being obvious about how painful it is for the country yet but from the common people it is very obvious damage was done and the world is watching how the chinese government will react.
Malaysia will never develop unless they remove the malay first law and weed out corruption. This is basically asking malaysia to stop being malay which is basically impossible.

The biggest issue that lead to "brain drain" is really the low wage. Malaysia did not have shortage of engineers. We have shortage of high paying job. We being told "just take the offer" or being labeled as "ungrateful" and "demanding". Which leads to employers throwing pay close to national minimum wage. To put into perspective, the minimum wage is MYR1,500 or USD320 per month. That's less than USD4,000 annually. Fresh graduates on engineering are not expected to get paid more than triple of that.
Which is why Malaysian engineers left the country. They being paid so low while expected to pay back their student loan. The only fresh graduates engineers left are those who don't have enough connection to reach employers outside of the country to offer their skills.
Agreed, need more pragmatic change towards economy upgrades
My curiosity, which engineers is he talking about, there are a lot of engineering areas
Why do u talk about 20 years ago.
Now, fresh graduate salary is about RM2400 - Ram2800.
Senior engineer can achieve RM4500 - RM8000.
The expert can achieve RM10 000 - RM20 000 in Malaysia.

I am Taiwanese who work in the semiconductor industry, this topic is actually a complicated issue. It's about the cutting edge technic all around the world.Not just Taiwan, but also Japan, SK, NL, China and US etc, each of them plays an important role as Taiwan is the biggest one.
Maybe this video can explain some of Malaysia's problems, but there is a lack of knowledge about the entire industry chain of chips.
For example: Manufacturing(we called Foundry professionally) can be subdivided into plenty of parts, the chips for vehicals and the chips for iphone are totally different. Not to mention Design,Package ,System,Material,Aligner ... ,every part of it requires well educated people.
aye government should hand out chip war by chis miller to all secondary school students lol
Agreed, seems like they just expecting foreign tech company just invest billions dollar project with no specific reason. And they can miraculous getting a share from it. They complete neglect supply chain problem, the raw material, electricity, equipment, educated work force (engineer and IT technician), component supplier(High end industry required massive low and mid level supplier, and it is mandatory)
Also both japan, SK, China, Taiwan become a tech powerhouse by invest and incubate their own tech company rather than hope some foreign company gona doing it for them. Majority of the production still from their home country. This process takes least a decade and billions dollar of investment, its painful but worth it.
For any industry that is heavy-asset, don't focus too much on labor cost, because it matters little. Provide cheap land, low interest loan or even some tax cut have way bigger impact on it. Raw material price, production cost, product cycle, electricity stability are way much more important. No factory, especially high-tech industry can afford power outage in the middle of the production.
Well as a Malaysian, I can say Intel, Texas and Western Digital has factories here back in 70s -2000s. To be fair this channel is primarly focus on geopolitics and not semiconductor industry.

As a South African, I think Malaysia is a beautiful nation that deserves this success. With Malaysia joining BRICS, both of our nations can reach their full potential without the West mocking us. 🇿🇦 ❤ 🇲🇾
Thank you as Malaysian we appreciate it 🙏 let's hope BRICS will be success n break the monopoly from the west especially the big bully: America
@acerazak4087 I think it will. I am a South African with Cape Malay ancestry. I believe BRICS is the perfect fit for our two emerging economies, especially in terms of our historic ties. The West is in moral, economic and democratic decline, its time that Malaysia and SA start to rely on each other and not the western bullies that tell us who we can and can't be friends with or who is allowed to commit genocide and who is not.
@@delaneycloete5920 wow a south African with Cape Malay ancestry, I am a Malay btw. I am 💯 agreed with you. I am also proud that both our country stands up to these evil bully n working together to achieve common goal.
The West does not mock Malaysia and mostly dismisses SA as a dysfunctional state careening to failed state status. We once had hope for SA but endemic corruption, among other problems, have decimated growth. SA can't even keep the lights on 24/7 and has collapsing infrastructure and the government is doing nothing about. Foreign capital investment are leaving and will continue, as will SA's brain drain. Until SA changes its culture and government, until it reforms and rejects widespread corruption and tribal nepotism and cronyism it will never be worth investing in.
Malaysia is comparatively well-educated and its geography places it at the center of global trade, something SA doesn't have. SA stands to temporarily benefit from instability in the Red Sea (Houthis, etc.) which forces most ships to go around Africa instead of Suez.
AS for BRICS, it is perhaps worthy of mockery as it is more of a PR stunt than an actual cohesive entity. None of its members share common ideologies or interests and are in fact enemies (India-China) or frenemies (Russia-China), their only unifying theme is simmering resentment to real and perceived sleights from the West (which they exploit in post-colonial Africa to great effect). Brazil talks big on anti-Imperialism (mostly directed at the US--not entirely wrong) but somehow ignores Russia and China's imperialism and expansionism. None have solid and transparent banking systems and low levels of corruption and proper rule of law making everything from investments, to free trade deals, currency swaps or the ludicrous idea of shared currency difficult or impossible. India doesn't want Rubles, and Brazil has no use for Rupees, but all need USD to buy commodities on international markets. Which brings me to de-Dollarization. It's not happening anytime soon despite the rhetoric. The USD will remain the reserve currency for a long time, especially in an age of increasing instability and where Russia and China are in irreversible demographic decline and Brazil's total fertility rate is rapidly decreasing. None of the BRICS countries can rely on immigration to compensate for low birth rates because none of them are attractive to immigrants for obvious reasons. BRICS is a pipe-dream, a joke. More logical and cohesive economic and political blocs could be formed in Africa and South America.
@electrosyzygy Thank you for this comprehensive and concise reply. I'm not going to reply point by point, but I will point a few things out.
Your reply serves as proof of my statement regarding being mocked by the West, although I should perhaps have put mocked in inverted commas.
South Africa has just gone though a national election which saw a 30 year old government go into coalition with its main rival. There are positive things to come for the country, with even the financial markets in agreement.
South Africa has a parliament of proportional representation, unlike the British democracy in which the Reform Party received 15% of the vote but only 3 seats in Parliament. SA further maintains 3 independent arms of state, unlike the US supreme court giving the president the American crown, and can also change a 30 year old government without the need for insurrection by the losing party. The French and Germans are dealing with a right wing surge, with the French almost incapable of forming a government.
SA has many problems, we acknowledge this, but we thank our lucky stars that we now have a competent government which we haven't had for the last 20 years at least. We are also grateful to have enough muscle to be able to toe the line between the G20 and BRICS and not get upset when the Americans badmouth us because we don't toe their party line. We have lost all moral respect for anyone who can support a genocide.
BRICS is thankfully not ideological, but it is the best way for SA and Malaysia to look after their own citizens. South Africans, ordinary and wealthy alike, are seeing the benefit of this on a daily basis, especially seeing as our masses can afford EVs from China without 100% tariff markups on them. The West has all but abandoned us, given up on us, but through our own sheer will, as well as help from others, we are on the rise for our own people.

Had to agree, our country is one of the most luckiest countries in the world. No war, no natural disasters, no crisis, a ton of natural resources, neutral weather. We malaysians regardless of race all hope that malaysia can continue foward to be a developed tech country but also keeping our heritage from being engulfed by globalisation.
I not saying this as racial issues but if you realize, every land Allah give to muslim is rich with natural resources
Arab with oil, Afghanistan with precious stones and oil, Malaysia and Indonesia are rich with gold and spices.
Meanwhile Europe got none of this, their own resources already drain more than 100 years ago. No wonder they invaded other countries

I worked in a company that does a Malaysia government project back 10 years ago. The government wanted to setup a free trade zone for foregin tech investors to come and setup companies with benefit of tax free. The government did not want to pay anything to build up the facilities, my old company thought this was a great opportunity and invested a lot with the telco infrastructure on a certain zone. We were told that a lot of investors registered and ready to move in. After two year past, we only had 1% occupancy rate. At the time I had weirdest fairwell as nearly everyone in our company was sacked. Well I hope they can do better this time. I wish them luck.
Church zone and what telco?
Ha, Malaysia mentioned. But in all honesty, I am really glad with the current direction my country is taking in regards to its semiconductor industry.
we are a small country with a limited army. In order to remain safe, Tun Mahathir placed foreign economic interests here. which is certain that the country protects Malaysia for their own interests as well.

As a Singaporean, looking at the history of both of countries, Malaysia needs to stabilize their government and racial and religious politics to see progress. Your video makes it very positive for Malaysia, but the reality is not close to it. Malaysian government has continually disappoint Singapore as well as their own Malaysians. I wish the best for them, and i think Anwar on is headed in the right direction. Hopefully he can command the stability needed in Malaysian politics and given the sufficient opportunity to drive the growth.
Remember, Malaysia has so much resources. Singapore has nothing. Everything is expensive in Singapore. Malaysia has energy independence, there should be no reason for Malaysia to not outpace Singapore, just like how China has overtook Hong Kong in progress.
Indonesia the best. Whoosh whoosh yes 👍
As a malay in Malaysia, I heavily support this.
Politicians keep using religion to win votes and most Malays keep falling for that dumb trick.
In the end, corruption and incompetent leadership is what we get.
Not only that as it's difficult to establish a stable and harmonious environment with the constant racism in Malaysia (illegal immigrants is another story though).
Plus most Malays and bumiputeras relied heavily on their privileges just to get a decent job.
I'm not saying Malaysia should be secular and liberal though
Extra: For Malays, I think most of us should change our thinking when picking a career.
A lot of us still look for the easy way out. For example, many SPM graduates only have bare minimum scores to get into politeknik.
Why do they do this?
"Lepas SPM aku kerja grab je lah",
"So aku taknak study"
(Translation: After SPM I wanna work as a delivery driver, so i don't need to study)
We have just as much potential to become doctors as other people do yet our country has a shortage of doctors. We had to take in foreign workers for this.

Singapore was not exactly a backward island when Malaysia kicked Singapore out in 1965.
It has been a thriving island for more than 1 century.
In 1965 ,Singapore GDP' s percapitq is already the highest in South East Asia after Brunei.
And Singapore is unique as it did not suffer brutality under Malaysian rule.
If you care to be observant, you can appreciate that Singapore was lucky as it did not to wage war to get sovereignty.
Look at Timur Leste, South Philippines or South Thailand or Acheh ,Papua and you would realise how benevolent then PM If Malaysia back then.
I am not denying the
@@shamshulanuar7718 Seriously Singapore NEVER wanted to be independent in the first place they were EXPELED, voted out by the parliment. Wage war to get sovereignty?? WTF? There was no brutality involved since Singapore was having a similar status like Sabah and Sarawak; The Federation of Malaysia was formed when Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak signed the formation. Note that Brunei declined the invitation to join the Federation, for what its worth till date it was a good decision on their part.
Malaysia (more like Malaya political parties at that time) main concern of Singapore at that time was their differences in political view and how to spearhead the Malaysian Federation at that time. That differences in oppinion lead to UMNO lead parties (BN - BN at that time was huge and they single handedly dominate Malaysian Federation politics at that time this include Sabah and Sarawak but not in Singapore) to vote Singapore out of the Federation.
Now all is history and we could see what came out of each leaders visions at that time.

Despite the never ending predictions of her demise by a certain community, Malaysia is still steadily charting its future with balanced judgments. It will never be a Singapore, Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Malaysia quite misfortune in become high income country. In the 60s they fought against communist until 90s. then just when they about to recover, the 1998 financial crisis hit. then again in 2000s they about to recover, same thing happened 2008 financial crisis hit, then again in 2014. After that they gain good momentum in recovering 2017 saw the economy booming and then like usual political instability and corona virus hit them push them back down.
All these shocks also affected other countries, not just Malaysia. The real problem in Malaysia is a lack of educated labour and brain drain. The racial policies of successive UMNO governments have entrenched a system in which ethnic Malays feel entitled to subsidized housing, school and university places irrespective of merit and guaranteed jobs - all purely based on their race. While other non-Malay (but still Malaysian citizens) groups compete on merit they see no hope in a country stuck in the middle income trap where jobs are handed out based not on merit and performance but on racial quotas. This is at the heart of the problem, and unless the Anwar administration gets real and tackles this effective apartheid Malaysia's 2030 dream will turn out to be another false dawn like 'Vision 2020', which was preceded by Najib looting billions in taxpayer funds for corrupt use and personal enrichment. Anwar needs to reverse the brain drain. To do that it needs to rectify the failed race based policies. I was speaking to a business owner from Europe a few years ago, who was looking to expand in SE Asia. I recommended Malaysia, but when he learned about the Malay job quota rules, he lost interest - corporations don't like to operate in nations where hiring is dictated by political agendas. Failed political agendas. Read Dr M's 'The Malay Dilemma' for more info.
These are all excuses. Every major economy went through that. Saw how Singapore and Korea recovered and prospered, but Malaysia? Lazy culture, takpe mindset, rasuah, racism, are all the cause of our own misfortune.

** I am from Singapore and i can tell you FINALLY i am proud to actually say that Msia is my neighbour - reason being they really CHANGE and IMPROVE towards being a useful (and proper) nation that is within ASEAN. If you are wondering on what grounds am i trying to say this, it is completely NO secret that the previous (msian) government is mainly built up on JEALOUSY, lack of cooperation and friendly dialogue with Singapore. As of now - Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has proven to QUITE IMPRESSIVE. When he first came to power he was FULL OF IDEAS to enhance TRADE AND ECONOMIC TIES with Singapore. Which is why MANY of PM Anwar smart economic plan is focused around Johor (which is linked to Singapore via the causeway.)
( ** For those that don't know - the previous strategy of malysia that completely FAILED, was to excessively over shower resources and money into kula lumpur to be a "global and international city" - this was the reason why malaysia failed as a country the past 30 years. It was a disastrous and tragedy idea that malaysians needs to do their best to bury with their previous administration and at least over shadow it with some form of international success.)

Wrong. China has all the talent and dominance in emerging photonic semiconductors on graphene, which are 30,000 times faster and use 1-million times less energy, which will spell the end of silicon chips, like how mobile phones killed landline phones.

These will be commercialized in 4 years, then game over.

much less salary as well as other benefits (e.g. rent/transport/education for children). I would rather move to Vietnam instead.
2. Infrastructure/construction: We've hit so many dumb issues while building the new plant that the C-suite has considered winding down the project despite American pressure.

Reling heavily on investment from foreign companies is not so good in the long run.

Foreign companies will leave Malaysia once its wage and land price become expensive for middle-income economy.

@@zarith87 my man, that is not what he is saying at all. He's saying Malaysia needs to find a way domesticate the entire production chain and take a piece of the tech production pie because guess what happens to our local upstream component manufacturers once their clients run to the next cheap place?
Our historical hint of what could be the result is the Japanese economic stagnation and industrial implosion of the 90s
Malaysia's saving grace however will always be that the Malaysian economy is quite diversified and not reliant on one industry doing well. But the pain will be felt and stagnation will happen. Just look at the damage to china done from manufacturers moving to vietnam, thailand and indonesia because the chinese wage is now too expensive. Their government isn't being obvious about how painful it is for the country yet but from the common people it is very obvious damage was done and the world is watching how the chinese government will react.
